Irish Immigrants to Atlantic Canada 1832-1846
by Terrence M. Punch
As evidence of the movement patterns of Irish immigrants
in North America in the pre-famine period the author lists
over 100 examples of notices inserted in the 'Boston Pilot'
and its predecessors by persons seeking missing relatives.
These demonstrate that immigrants who landed in the ports
of eastern Canada (most commonly Saint John, New Brunswick)
frequently moved on into the United States and, once there,
tended to move on again.
